Vestal has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in the Lafayette. Every dish was…read morethoughtfully prepared, and even the simplest ingredients ended up being memorable. The grilled octopus was the best I've ever had. It was incredibly tender with a perfect char, and the sauce had an amazing balance of rich umami flavor and acidity. Surprisingly, one of the highlights of the meal was the charred green onion. I never expected an onion to stand out, but it was packed with smoky, sweet flavor. The pork porterhouse was cooked perfectly and had excellent flavor. My only minor critique was that the mint on the zucchini was a little stronger than my personal preference. Overall, it's not quite a 5-star experience for me because a few menu items don't quite justify their price. Even so, the attention to detail in both the food and service really stood out. Vestal is a beautiful restaurant, and it's one we'll happily return to whenever we're in the Lafayette area.

Our server, Kate, was outstanding. She was friendly, attentive, and gave us excellent…read morerecommendations. She suggested the pork chop, and it ended up being the star of the meal. The pork chop was cooked perfectly. It was juicy, incredibly tender, and honestly tender enough to cut with a fork. It had a great char from the grill that added so much flavor, and the pickled peppers on top cut through the richness of the pork perfectly. The dirty rice underneath reminded me of my mom's rice dressing and soaked up all the juices from the chop. It was one of the best pork chop dishes I've had. My wife ordered the smoke fried chicken, and it was also excellent. The crust was crispy while the chicken stayed juicy and flavorful. The sweet potato biscuits were light and delicious, and the pepper honey tied everything together nicely. For my taste, it leaned just a little on the sweet side, but it was still a very enjoyable dish. My daughter ordered the Social Cheeseburger with just meat and cheese. She loved it, and I was impressed too. Even with such a simple order, the burger was juicy, well seasoned, and served on a fantastic bun. She and my wife both could not stop talking about the hand cut fries. They were crispy, perfectly seasoned, and some of the best fries we've had in a while. From the food to the service, everything exceeded our expectations. We left very impressed and will definitely make a point to stop here whenever we are in the Lafayette area.

This is one of my Wife and I's top 5 favorite places in Louisiana…read more Their menu as far as apps and main dishes go can fluctuate. More specifically their flatbreads and loaded fries, which I do not currently see on their website. Most of the time they have loaded fries which in the past have consisted of gravies and sauces. One preparation we ordered came with pickled okra. The fried green tomatoes are also very good, especially to start with or share. As far as main dishes go we have tried the following: All Hail Caesar (Flatbread) Spicy Chicken Sandwich Smoke Fried Chicken-N-Biscuits Social Cheeseburger The Mac n Cheese is a must get as a side in my opinion. One of the first times we visited they had carrot cake as a dessert, we still talk about that carrot cake today. If you are a sweet tea lover this place has a twist which I love. Their sweet contains brown sugar and mint, get it, try it, it's delicious.

My Wife and I have visited twice. Unfortunately, I do not have photos from our dinner visit but I…read moredo from our brunch experience. I am not sure if they offer brunch any longer. I couldn't find the menu on their website. However, when I Google search Park Bistro Brunch Menu it brought me to their site and a brunch menu appeared. When we visited for dinner we got the Crispy Shrimp, Chicken Nuggets, Nashville Hot Shrimp Burger and Potato Gnocchi w/Bolognese. Crispy Shrimp - 9.0 Very good, would definitely suggest trying an order. Has to be their top or one of their top seller. Chicken Nuggets - 8.7 I do not currently see them listed on their Dinner or Friday Lunch menu. They were definitely worth ordering. It was fun having a homemade chicken nugget at a nice restaurant. Hot Shrimp Burger - 9.2 Very, very good. The aioli and pickles are so good with the shrimp and spice. Would definitely get again however, I plan on trying a new dish next time. Potato Gnocchi w/Bolognese - 9.1 This is what my Wife ordered and she said it was very yummy. Which, I tried some and she was right! If we went back it would be hard for her to stray away from ordering this. For our brunch visit we had Cheddar Biscuits, Crispy Shrimp, Chicken & Waffles, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and Whipped Ricotta Toast. Cheddar Biscuits - 8.2 During our visit the biscuits taste good however, were a little dense and lacked cheddar. Crispy Shrimp - See Above Chicken & Waffles - 8.5 They were good, the chicken was juicy and had good flavor. Don't know if we would order again. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - 9.1 Aside from the shrimp, it was the best thing we ordered. The pancakes were fluffy and all of the flavors of the contributing aspects of the dish were delicious. The pancakes were accompanied by Blueberry Compote, Maple Mascarpone and Candied Pecans. Whipped Ricotta Toast - 8.6 All of the components of this dish played well together. Not sure if we would order again, but definitely worth trying once.

AMBIANCE: the inside was super homie and quite small but not restricting. The inside was decorated for Valentine's Day with pretty roses on the table as well as on the bar. It was an overall nice and moody classy ambience inside.

I had to take out one of the pieces, as 3 is just too much personally. I would say, outside of the herb sauce, and the prosciutto I really am not sure why it's $18. That's threw me off a bit. Do I think it's worth the money? Not necessarily, but I would go back with friends to try it all again. The service was okay, we were not checked on a whole lot. I had to remind her about a sauce I wanted. Mind you the restaurant wasn't busy, so that was kind of meh. However when at our table she was very kind and helpful! When we walked in we were just sort of stared at by the host , we were asked like "how many" or "how are you" so we walked in and made eye contact and we waited a couple of seconds and I told him 3 please and we got seated! I'm somewhere between 3/4 stars for this one!

The only disappointment was finding out our favorite appetizer, the pork cheeks, is no longer on the menu. We decided to try the crabmeat cheesecake instead, and it was pretty good. For our entrées, my wife ordered the Fish Katie, which was as good as always, and I had the lamb chop special. The lamb chops were cooked well and had great flavor. To top off the evening, the staff brought out cotton candy and a slice of olive oil cake for my wife's birthday, which was a nice touch and made the celebration feel special. Overall, we had a very enjoyable dinner with good food and attentive service. We definitely plan on coming back and hope the pork cheeks make a return to the menu someday!

Two surprises that we all took special note of however - the breakfast/brunch offered biscuit - & - the Pecan Seduction dessert - outrageously delicious. Cotton Candy kids treat to close out was a hit too. Remainder of restaurant and outdoor seating option (when open for use) all = very appealing.
